The NBA$$s belief in CSR is being challenged. If the NBA is truly and sincerely committed to allthat it has previously said and done and perhaps even benefited from, should it cling to thoseexpressed values even if that means the loss of the lucrative economic deal? In the alternative,should the NBA instead back off on the social justice values advanced by one of its own in arecognized democratic way and salvage the economic deal? Is there any real compromise here?Would a compromise be seen as selling out on CSR in favor of a pure economic choice? To date,a cone of silence has descended over the episode.How will it be resolved? How should it be resolved?If you were advising the NBA in the overcoming of this multi$-$billion dollar crisis, what logicalproposal would you proffer that could make sense in the accommodation of all the stakeholders?
